SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
|
Optical drive mounting is very easy. The drive, with only two screws installed,
is slid in through the front of the case along a guide. Once it passes
a certain point, a metal clip on one side locks on.

|
Hard drive installation is similar. The drive is lowered into the desired
3.5" bay and then pushed forward along two grooves. As it is a tight
space, it is a little tricky to get the drive lined up properly —
a little patience is required. Plastic clips secures the drive in place.
|
|
There were plenty of holes on either side of the 3.5" bays so we
decided to use a notebook drive and a bit of elastic cord to create a
suspension system.

The low height of the case and the close proximity of the case fan made prevented
us from using any of the quality low-profile heatsinks at our disposal.
Thus, were were reduced to using a stock Intel cooler.
